Therapeutic approaches and how they translate to online work

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, helps people spot patterns of thinking that keep problems going and then practices new ways of responding. It is often used for depression, anxiety, panic, and mood concerns.

Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, focuses on learning concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal interactions. It can be useful for panic, strong mood shifts, and managing intense emotions after trauma.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dawn treats therapy as a collaboration and will help you choose techniques that match your goals and day-to-day needs. Together you can try strategies and adjust the plan as you learn what helps most.

If you are considering online therapy, check the session formats available before booking to confirm how she currently meets with people. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many clients find that working with a licensed professional remotely still supports steady progress toward coping skills, mood improvement, and trauma recovery.
